RAW news
Jens Fager’s RAW collection for MUUTO has drawn attention from all over the world since its introduction in September 2008. This month the collection is expanded with a new side table and exciting new colours. Like the other RAW products, The RAW side table is handmade on a band saw and painted in various colours. Jens Fager explains his concept: "RAW is a product family based on rough and intuitive interpretations of iconic everyday objects. Every piece is unique because they are all made of wood carved by hand with a band saw machine. With a strong and iconic look they can easily be placed anywhere in your home, office or restaurant.”
With the introduction of four new colours, the RAW chairs and side table will now be available in yellow, green, blue and dark grey. The RAW candelabra is available in white and a new green version.
WICKER Bread basket
Internationally acclaimed Danish designer, Cecilie Manz has created the Wicker bread basket for MUUTO. With the design of Wicker, Cecilie demonstrates how the combination of classic and modern Scandinavian design can shape an everyday product like a bread basket. Cecilie Manz on her design: “A basket for e.g. the daily bread or fruit. Wicker has clear references to typical Scandinavian basket techniques: wide and thin strips weaved in two directions. Only this time produced with a completely different method and material - a highly durable composite moulded into its shape. This gives a structure that is light and hollow, emphasizing the direction of the individual strips.”
Wicker is shaped in ceramic and plastic composite and comes with cotton textile insert for optional use. Light grey and dark grey colour options.
Plus ONE
Last fall MUUTO launched the popular Plus grinders by Norway Says. Plus are playful and beautiful grinders with a strong character that, according to the designers, add “a good-looking PLUS to your cooking”. With ONE, Norway Says has created a good-looking companion for Plus. It is a simple but stylish granite container if you prefer to add salt or pepper by hand or the cool wooden spoon that follows the One container. The set perfectly complements your PLUS grinder.
